Why Books?

Books provide:

  • Detailed analysis of a topic
  • Background information
  • Overview of big issue
  • Use their bibliographies to find other sources

AND you don't necessarily need to read the entire book!  Check the Table of Contents and the Index for chapters and pages that are pertinent. 
                                                                                    

Database Articles

Articles are good sources for:

  • Contemporary accounts of past events and research
  • Most recent research or information on a topic
  • Coverage of a very narrow topic
  • Coverage of current events
